Wiki TEVAR 33880 vs 33881 Partial coverage??

[gardentwig@verizon.net]

Our Dr did a planned partial coverage of 75%. So can we bill a 33880 for covered subclavian?
Please respond, we are in a dispute with the Co-Surgeon's Coder.

Thank you,
Lora

Hi Lora - I would have billed 33880, because even if partial there is still coverage of the vessel which fits the code description.
